The WordPress Dashboard gives you an all-in-one glance at your blog's statistics and activity. Here's a brief look at the main menu items in the WordPress Dashboard that apply across all versions of WordPress — WordPress.com and WordPress.org. Each version provides different options, but the basic main menu of the Dashboard is standard across all versions.
| Menu | Description |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Find basic information and statistics for your blog, as well as information from the WordPress Development Blog and other blogs run by those involved with WordPress development or resources. |
| Posts | Write new posts and edit previous ones. Create categories to organize your posts by topic; upload images; create post excerpts; send trackbacks; manage custom fields. |
| Media | View all media files you’ve uploaded to your blog, including images, audio, video and more. Upload and manage new media files with the built in media uploader. |
| Links | Manage and categorize link lists (blogrolls) on your blog, add new links and edit or delete old ones. |
| Pages | Write and publish new static pages for your blog, and edit or delete previous ones; and assign pages to custom page templates |
| Comments | Manage comments here by viewing, editing, or deleting them; also manage your comment moderation queue and comment/trackback spam. |
| Appearance | Manage your WordPress themes by viewing them, activating them, and editing them in the Theme Editor. Use and configure Sidebar Widgets here, too. |
| Plugins | View a listing of plugins installed in your WordPress blog. Find new plugins, install, activate, deactivate, upgrade and edit them here. |
| Users | Manage your users and subscribers and edit your own profile here. |
| Tools | Import data into your blog from another blogging platform (like Blogger, Typepad or Movable Type) or export your current blog data into a backup file. Upgrade your WordPress software to the latest version using the auto-upgrade feature! |
| Settings | Set the general options for your blog in this section. You find settings for blog posts, RSS feed, discussion options, privacy, and permalinks here. |
